Texts and Issues Lecture Series
The “Paideia Texts and Issues Lecture Series,” sponsored by the Paideia Endowment since 1983, encourages intellectual discussion across disciplinary lines.
The Paideia Steering Committee selects four to five presentation proposals each year from faculty across the campus to present to the college community on issues or texts that are central to the The Liberal Arts.
